Laurent Gerra and Eddy Mitchell appear together on screen. THE long time friends filmed in the TV movie An ideal fatherdirected by Hélène Filières. In this fiction broadcast on Wednesday October 2 on France 2, the imitator plays a father accused of the murder of his daughter while the singer lends his features to his best friend, the priest of a church.
On the occasion of the broadcast of the TV film, Laurent Gerra and Eddy Mitchell went to the set of C à vous. Faced with Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine, they recounted their experience on the set, but also discussed their respective projects.
Laurent Gerra imitates Eddy Mitchell in his new show
Since the start of his career, at the end of the 1990s, Laurent Gerra has taken pleasure in imitate celebrities. His friend Eddy Mitchell is no exception to the rule and his interpretation has changed over the years.
Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine remarked: “When you first imitated Eddy, you didn’t dare change the lyrics. Whereas now, when Laurent sits down at the table, it’s open bar”. After this statement, an extract from new show of the 56-year-old man was thus revealed. We can discover the comedian twisting the words of Water Mint Color with “the girl with green eyes”.
The imitator allows the singer to receive royalties
While the scene did not fail to make Eddy Mitchell smile, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine asked the
singer of Vieilles Canailles if he agreed with
changes to the lyrics. “Yes, he submitted them to me” he first remarked. He then continued with humor: “I validated because I needed the copyright”.
Visibly surprised, the host questioned the two men about how copyright works
“even when the words are twisted”. If the one who is preparing to unveil his 40th solo album has confirmed receiving a sum of money, Laurent Gerra clarified: “I work for him every evening (…) I pay his retirement”. A secret that is amusing to say the least.
